Does anybody get I itchy crawly skin from top to toe all the time.  I’m 57 about 5 years post menopausal.  Had this sensation for a few days now.  I’m really freaking out.  I already get health anxiety and general anxiety!

Yep.     4 many it's as oestrogen levels drop.  For me it was insteps as I stepped out of socks into my evening bath followed by across the shoulders below my neck  and I would wake in the night with 1 ruff heel scratching the other.  That was at the end of perimenopause as periods stopped.

My DH uses 'nivea' for his legs and feet.  If U don't have a rash then mayB try some hand cream on the areas and make an appt with your Nurse Practitioner to rule out other conditions  = aneamia or other diseases affecting kidneys, thyroid, or liver issues can cause itching sensations. 

Don't panic and don't GOOGLE

Let us know how you get on.

Itchy right arm comes and goes. Nothing to see, so l just puts loads of moisturising cream on it which seems to help.
